Undefeated boxing icon wants to fight Jake Paul next in exhibition match Instagram: Jake PaulAs Jake Paul prepares to step back into the ring, he\u2019s apparently drawn the attention of boxing legend Andre Ward as he\u2019s willing to fight Jake at some point. While he only holds a 5-0 record, and has yet to fight a \u2018real boxer\u2019, Jake Paul has made plenty of waves in the world of boxing with his work both in and out of the ring. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has gotten into wars of words with plenty of top-level fighters, including Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez, Tyson Fury, and even Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather. He\u2019ll be returning to the ring in August, ending a seven-month hiatus from fighting, and is seemingly going to fight Tommy Fury at last. However, there\u2019s apparent interest from Andre Ward as well. Ward, who retired in 2017 with an undefeated 32-0 record, was finally inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in mid-June alongside the aforementioned Mayweather, who claimed that the former light heavyweight king wants to fight Jake. \u201cI spoke to Andre Ward. You guys seen us talking on stage, you know, at the International Boxing Hall of Fame. We was talking on stage,\u201d Mayweather told reporters. \u201cYou know, Andre Ward was talking to me. And it\u2019s crazy. Andre Ward said he wanted to do, he didn\u2019t mind doing an exhibition against Jake Paul.\u201d As noted, Ward has been out of the ring for five years \u2013 only stepping back into it to film parts of the movie franchise Creed \u2013 but the Olympic gold medallist is still a highly-skilled fighter. Unlike some of the other fighters that Jake has been called out by, Ward is right in the ring of the weight Jake typically fights at, so it would make sense on that front. Whether or not the social media star would entertain a fight with S.O.G however, is a different question altogether. So, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
